GAF Energy, a Standard Industries company and a leading provider of solar roofing in North America announced the launch of its Timberline Solar roof for sale in Minnesota.
Timberline Solar, a system that directly integrates solar technology into traditional roofing processes and materials, will initially be available in the Twin Cities metro area for purchase and installation by local roofers.
The award-winning solar roofing system incorporates what GAF Energy states is the world's first nailable solar shingle, the Timberline Solar Energy Shingle, and is assembled at GAF Energy's U.S. manufacturing facilities.
"Minnesota homeowners need a durable solar product that can withstand the state's tough conditions, and Timberline Solar is a durable, attractive, affordable choice for homeowners replacing their roof," said Martin DeBono, president of GAF Energy. "We're excited to bring the next generation of solar and building products to Minnesota."
The Timberline Solar ES boasts a depth of less than a quarter inch and integrates with traditional shingles. It was the first product to achieve UL's 7103 certification, which certifies that GAF Energy's product meets UL's rigorous electrical, building, and safety standards as a roofing product and a solar energy product.
GAF Energy recently expanded its manufacturing capacity with a 450,000-square-foot manufacturing facility in Georgetown, Texas.
